Just a simple stupid question from a simpleton...Is it possible to fit a 6x9 in the doors in stead of the x8's? Maybe a 8 inch woofer? I know I gotta make the hole bigger and drill new screw holes but what are the chances of the magnet hitting the window glass? I mean the chances of me doing this are SUPER SLIM but it just has been eating at my mind for some time...

ALSO, should I worry about the magnet of a x8 or x7 new car speaker (most are oversized) hitting the window glass when I try to roll my winders down?

Thanks, Patrick!

Is there a reason why you want to change the size? The sound difference would be very minimal. But if you want to, its very possible. I would go with an 8" driver. Im sure you can make your own adapter , or they probably sell adapters online so you can fit an 8" instead of the 6x8s. If you do it your self i would recommend using Plexiglass.

And you should be good on magnet clearance, believe it or not you have quite a bit of room most likely. Just role the window down all the way and measure from the mounting spot to the glass.

No reason at all its just for shits and giggles that and I really hate oval speakers. Or anything not round (I hate car audio in general but Im just very picky, really like good audio) and I just want it louder

And there are these aluminum cone woofers on Parts Express that I really want to try in a car, I hear great reviews of them. If I could get some good tweeters (wich I have) then Ide be set.

Aluminum cones to me sound to "pingy", i personally prefer a carbon fiber, or paper cones. I feel like they create a more softer, more pleasing sound than aluminum.

I guess its all about what one prefers. In a car I try to avoid paper due to the temp changes and humidity and ect. Plastic just gets brittle over time, metal seems to be the one that really holds up well. Carbon fiber well its just pricey.

And nope. Just more crap to get in the way. Besides I dont really like EQs all that much.

Do you have good fabrication skills then?

Because the stock speaker locations will be working against you if you want truly good sound.

And yes, you could put an 8" in the door. But, I'd put 2 of them in the passengers footwell then run a tweeter and 4" mid(even a 3")in each "A" pillar.
